Answer: the equation is

4x^2 + 4x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation is an equation in which the highest power of the unknown is 2.

The general form of a quadratic equation is expressed as

ax^2 + bx + c

Where

a is the leading coefficient

c is a constant

Assuming we want to write the quadratic equation in x, from the information given, the roots which are given are -2 and 1 and the leading coefficient is 4.

Therefore, the linear factors of the quadratic equation will be (x+2) and (x-1)

the equation becomes

(x+2)(x-1)

= x^2 - x +2x - 3

= x^2 + x - 3

Given a leading coefficient of 4, we will multiply the quadratic expression by 4. It becomes

4(x^2 + x - 3)

= 4x^2 + 4x - 12

givi [52]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The first twenty-five customers

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given data, by calculation, we have;

The population average = 11.45

The average of the first five customers = 13.2

The average of the first ten customers = 11.6

The average of the first twenty customers = 12.5

The average of the first twenty-five customers = 11.72

Therefore both the first ten customers and the first twenty-five customers have good representation of the population mean with the mean of the first ten customers having a value of 11.6 is more closer to the population mean than the mean of the first twenty-five customers

However, by the central limit theorem, as the size of the sample continues to be increasingly larger, it becomes more and more representative of the population mean, this is more so because when the data is sorted, the population mean will be better represented by the mean of a large sample size

Hence the set of sample data needed to best represent the population mean is the first twenty-five customers.

The x’s represent just the people, and because the bottom line only represents time it doesn’t affect the amount of people.
